New Nier Enemies Revealed

Square Enix has released some more information a type of enemy that you will encounter throughout the game – The Shades.  Shades are mysterious monsters that are both black and transparent at the same time.  They defy classification, as they are separate and distinct from the flora and fauna around us, bearing no apparent connection to the other beasts that populate our world.  It is uncertain when and where Shades first appeared, but their numbers continue to increase day-by-day.  Their reach knows no bounds, as they seemingly appear out of thin air in every environment, be it field, desert, or ocean.  They appear in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from weak, child-sized monsters to gigantic nightmarish beasts that could eat entire buildings whole.  Shades are classified into four distinct categories based on size – small, medium, large and giant.  Take a look at what they look like below and tell us what you think.
